Hi all, I have taken my name off the list, I am going to gracefully follow Rah and Ready's lead and take a break from the hustle of temping. I will of course be lurking, but will be taking a distinct backseat for a while. I have taken this month badly again, and being ill on top has just made things worse. I am feeling old fat and frumpy, and need to focus on family for a while. I hope that you forgive my swift exit, but as I say I will be lurking. Of course also as I am not temping I have bought 100 pg tests and will be using them regulary instead of temping !

Got my blood test results. All normal apparently. I don't know how they can know this since they don't know what CD I was on when they took the blood. I suppose it's good that I don't have high FSH levels though. I have to go back in a month so I'll ask more about it then.

I've started the OPKs. Two negatives so far, which is what I expected as I have never OVd before CD14.

Sorry you're leaving us for a bit Mum03. I hope you enjoy the break from the evil thermometer.

Hello to everyone else who's left. It's going to be quiet for a bit.

beansprout · 01/06/2007 08:28

Hope you are ok Mum03. Hope the break helps.
Jess - good news about the tests!

Hope everyone else is ok.

mum03 have a good rest, focus on the family and spend some good R&R time. I know it is hard. Don't beat yourself up though if you start thinking about your cycle and where you are in it etc, that is totally and perfectly normal and the only way to totally stop thinking about it is hypnotherapy probably!! hey maybe we could all be hypnotised to have perfect cycles and ovulations and get pregnant! that would be great.

Going to be very quiet round here for a while.

As for me well I took my vit cocktail this morning - folic acid, b12 (normal amount), b6 (major OD amount) and evening primrose. I am sure I rattle as I walk! :0)

Jess keep going with the sticks it is really reassuring to see that LH surge. How are you feeling at the mo?

NappyValley · 01/06/2007 09:23

Oh forgot to add basil were you going to do another pg test today to get further confirmation or has your body now caught up and you are feeling those hormones surge!

basilbrush · 01/06/2007 09:58

yup way stronger line this morning
am now a magnificent 4+1....

basilbrush · 01/06/2007 11:29

Really bad cramping last night which was a bit scary. I keep trying to tell myself it is just beanie burying itself into my womb

Hello Ladies hope everyone is well. I?m having a scary day I was exhausted last night after meetings all day and went to bed truly knackered. DH is away on a Stag and normally I can?t sleep but I slept like a log last night. Woke up when my alarm went off feeling really rough and exhausted and with a stuffy nose. Temped and got an alarming 36.0. A drop by 8c from yesterday. Well, I freaked. Also tried Lottie?s method of temping (just in case sleeping with my mouth open due to a stuffy nose made my temp low clutching at straws) temp was a more respectable 36.7 but still v scared. Dropping temps can be a sign of MC as they often mean that the progesterone levels are dropping. I tried to reason with myself that it could be for many reasons but decided to stay at home and go back to sleep. Temped again when I got up at 9. same low temp I otherwise just feel sick and tired but that could well be my nerves now! There is no point trying to get medical reassurance as they think it is nonsense at my GP and the EPU. Just wanted to tell someone ? lots of work to do but just cannot concentrate Also tried Lottie?s method of temping (just in case sleeping with my mouth open due to a stuffy nose made my temp low clutching at straws) temp was a more respectable 36.7 but still v scared.

Nappy ? thank you for the advice, it is very sound and I totally agree. I certainly don?t want to be induced. Hope the B6 helps and glad you feel more relaxed. I took EPO too (pre OV) and pre natal vits

Hello Greedy

Iwillbe how did the appointment go?

Hey CookieMOMster nice to see you! Hope all is good with you.

Mum03 ? I hope you feel much better soon and that the break helps you considerably xx

Jess1996 ? glad the results are normal but agree with you, it needs further probing!

Hey Beansprout ? hope you are well

Basil that?s great the tests are stronger and you will gets some cramps, it?ll be the beanie bedding down or ligaments stretching.

beansprout · 01/06/2007 13:45

MrsMcJnr - how are you feeling?

Nappy - lol at your rattling! I hope they do the trick

Basil - way to go basilbean! S/he is just making himself comfortable. I have found that the cramps are a low level pain which doesn't really get much worse, so as long as it stays at that level, I try not to worry too much. Glad your line is stronger, that must be v reassuring!

MrsMcJnr · 01/06/2007 18:27

Bit calmer now thanks Beansprout

Have a lovely weekend ladies - I'll be back on Tues after my scan

beansprout · 01/06/2007 18:27

Hope it goes ok!! Have a good weekend

NappyValley · 01/06/2007 19:25

mrsMc sympathies about temping stress. No point saying don't worry. I am sure it is very hard. Just try and keep busy so your mind is otherwise occupied. Remember the most tiring and exhausting time of pregnancy is actually the first trimester which is pants as you don't want people to know. Have a pamper weekend.

seaside72 · 01/06/2007 22:09

Hello my lovely temp buds - thinking about you all - have been lurking

Mum03 - completely understand the need to take a break- sometimes it all justs gets to wound up and intense. Enjoy your time off and no temping (). Sorry you have been under the weather too - hope you get to have some quality family time and some Mum03 revitalisation (can I interest you in the myriad of alternative therapies I have dabbled in!! .) LOL about your 100 hpts!

basil not sure if I have said it already but huge congrats - May has been a bumper month hasn't it? Amazing Maybe see you on the TTC grad thread soon.

jess God news about your blood tests - I know getting my results gave me a bit of confidence that something was sorking IYKWIM? But you are right - a bit if they did not know your CD - what were they testing for?? Prog, FSH, LH?

NappyValley Like your style on the vit cocktail!! Sounds like something I would do too!!

CityAngel - Hope you are OK hon and that work/home stress has eased {{{big hugs}}}}

duchesse storming through those CD's CD19 already Have you been for some acupuncture yet [wagging finger emoticon] ! Go one someone sticking needles in you - it's so enticing - not. But if it might help ...... you don't know until you try!

Feedmenow - Are you still her hon? Hope you are and that you are OK {{{big hugs}}} (How's the bearded dargon mummy??)

Waves to all you lurkers - Rah, Minxi et al - I think our Ready is going cold turkey - but if you are here too {{{Hugs}}} to all.

Quick question about the clearblue OPKs. Used them Thursday and Friday morning, got hardly any surge line at all. On Saturday morning, very clear surge line, but still not as strong as reference line. Tried on Sat evening, surge line and reference line were the same. According to the instructions this is a positive result so I didn't test again. So, the question is, when should I see a temp rise? I am quite stressed about my temps at the moment as they never really fell from post-OV temps last month. I'm worried I won't be able to see a rise.

Well I am back - not temping was rubbish for me, last cycle was a pitiful 24 days. I'm loving the still trying:BFP ratio here, even if it is aided by the temporary loss of a few lovely people. Hope the time away from the thermometer works better for them.

Had a great holiday - don't imagine the cycling shorts and the heat greatly aided DH's sperm quality, but it was great fun. He's back into the boxers now.

Saw consultant again today as a follow up on the clomid....he said looks pretty good as positive opk on Saturday which was cd13.... he gave me the forms ready for the lap and dye to sort out so said either wait for this month and the other 3 clomid packs I have, then do it as you can't ttc the same month in case you fall pg as you have to lap and dye...feel okay though just hoping this is my month as certainly text book symptons so far.l...

hope everyone else ok....x

Welcome back Rattling. It has been a very exciting month with so many BFPs. But plenty of us still reaching under the pillow every morning. My temp has been all over the place this weekend due to several bad nights sleep. I am not sure if it is the B6, but I am peeing for England and not sleeping well. Might put that questions out there to see if anyone in the conception group has the same experience.

jess sounds like the OPK tests sound perfect to me. I always get a faint pos and then a 50/50 pos. My temp would then go up about 48-72 hrs after the +ve. At the moment my body is taking 4 days b4 I see my temp start rising. It take about 2 days to reach it's higher level. Hope that helps. Basically get busy hun.

minxi sounds like your cycle is playing ball which is fantastic news. I am not too up to speed on all the techie jargon. But are you saying that the are going to do some exploritory camera type action 1 month?

waves to all the graduates recent and older ones.

hugs to all our lovely lurkers.

I know it is hard but try to relax Jess. I think you are right and will probably get a rise tomorrow. Hang in there and relax. the fact you got an OPK is great news at it shows you are producing LH enzyme so that is stage 1 ticked. Hang in there. :0)

MrsMcJnr · 05/06/2007 13:59

Ladies hello! Having a crazy, busy day so can?t catch up now but I hope you are all well and I?ll do what I can to catch up later.

Just wanted to let you know that we saw a little gumy bear this morning on the scan with a madly flickering heartbeat which is apparently very strong CRL was 14mm and we are apparently now measuring 7+6 (would be 8 weeks today based on LMP) we were so happy we felt like we can breathe after holding out breaths for so long! We got a little pic too, can?t see a thing really and DH has banned me from showing anyone (he?s embarrassed ) but I know what?s there! Bloods are fine too. More from me later!

mum03 · 05/06/2007 21:50

Hi all, just thought I would pop my head in here to say I have not forgotten about you all. I am temping irratically (very), but my temps did not come down yet, due to being ill I assume. So I am just forgetting about this month as a serious attempt at ttc, I am trying but failing to forget about it all, but my head is wrecked thinking about it all the time. ~ still just wanted to let you know that you are not forgotten by me!

minxi · 05/06/2007 21:54

Hi mum03 no not forgotten - this thread seems much quieter since Ready, you and Rah left the scene..... Just been to pilates and had a wine after ?! was nice.. hope you ok...I haven't temped much this month partly due to being away but things ok... hope alright with you keep lurking !

mum03 · 05/06/2007 22:00

Thanks minxi, I will be keeping lurking to keep an eye on what you are up to !!!
